Wilson Combat "DSO" folder/Large

TCR: one thing I noticed when the subject of the locking liner came up is that there is a small "nipple" on the inner surface of the liner and it falls into a groove on the base of the blade and acts to 'snap' the liner into place. This seems to make the liner even more secure against the base of the blade. Also the same nipple falls into a small indent when the blade is closed.

Sounds like you're talking about the detent which almost all liner locks have, some even have double detents.
 
I took the clip off and the screws only contact the threads for like 2.5 turns, the screws are long already .... not happy ... :mad:

This is a problem due to the .065" liners having not enough meat, however they could have solved the problem with a bit of work.

That's why I don't want one. At least the liners on the Retribution are thick as fuck.
 
What Fox owes me so far:

repair 1 pants pocket: $10
glue and metal pieces + labor: $22.99
sleeves and materials + labor for fabricating better clip screw holes: $95
hush money: $2,500

just kidding but I am a perfectionist, if the world was perfect what would I do? :D

I finally got it functional, using 4 pieces of bevel edged metal.
I also bent the clip up a few hairs to compensate.

By the way the ergos of this knife are about the best I have seen, the scales are a bit sharp but to me that's just right, you would have to handle the knife to fully appreciate it for yourself. Top ergos.

I'm not clear: is this made by Wilson, or by Fox, and Wilson is the importer? A YouTube video has what looks like the same knife but labels itself as Fox Cutlery.

If it is Fox, does anyone know the quality of their other knives imported to the US, like the Predator?
 
It's a european thing I think, they pride themselves on "doing more with less" than us silly Americans. They tend towards small cars, smaller caliber guns, and we have bigger cars and some bigger guns generally speaking. Although the very thick blade shrugs off that idea, it nontheless may have something to do with the size of the liner, which is relatively thin in comparison to alot of knives out there, but it doesn't bother me much. I think they were trying to offset the mass of the knife, they even skeletonized the liners....the knife has good balance too, so overall I think they did a good job.

By the way if someone knows what this knife is going to be ultimately called, please "LET ME KNOW"! "DSO"?? I am making it up as i go. :confused:
